organizing proposals
by Karsten Wade 23 May '10

23 May '10

We have quite a lot of proposals; I haven't been paying attention to the category until a few days ago ... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Summer_Coding_2010_proposals ... and it's about 30 proposals. (I'm still going through them and fixing confusing bits, such as duplicate proposals.) I started to organize the pre-review here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_proposal_tracking As it says on that page, this is all information that is in the public _right_now_. That page MUST NOT get populated with private mentor review data. If we do use it to post any results from the private mentor discussions, we'll review the data and changes first. Sometime later today I am going to start posting to the summer-coding-mentors list, after I go through the proposals and make sure all mentors therein are on the list. Thank you, - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41

funded and unfunded projects [RFC]
by Karsten Wade 21 May '10

21 May '10

I have a proposal that in selecting proposals we do this: 1. Decide which proposals are worthy of taking if we had an endless budget. 2. Order those proposals and fund the ones we think should have budget right now. 3. The other proposals are unfunded but otherwise good enough to proceed; offer to the students and mentors of those proposed projects they can run the project for full credit but no pay. We'd love to fund all the great projects people are proposing. Some people are saying they'd love to work the project even if they don't get funded. If they have a proposal that would get funded if we had more budget, and they do the work, they should get full credit. Credit means: * Recognition as a participant who completed the program. The funding is not referenced here, so the students can put it on their CV/resume the same as if it were a funded project. * Any materials we provide for students (t-shirt, certificate, etc.) goes to the unfunded projects as well. * Any media/publicity (student blog planet, press releases, etc.) include all the students regardless if the project is funded or unfunded. This idea has been discussed amongst a few of us, and maybe there are some parts of it on this list. The mentors should have this guidance as they go in to proposal review next week.

mentor mailing list
by Karsten Wade 20 May '10

20 May '10

If you are a mentor, especially if you are a mentor for a proposal, you must be on the mentor's private discussion list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding-mentors This is where we are going to decide which proposals are accepted, and which of the accepted get funded. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41

smaller bounties for three projects from a sponsor
by Karsten Wade 19 May '10

19 May '10

I was contacted by a sponsor interested in providing 100 EUR each for these projects, in addition to whatever funding they receive: * http://seamframework.org/Community/StudentProjects * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas_-_Unified_Mobile_Syn… * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas_-_Unified_ink_level_… I haven't looked to see if there are any pending proposals on those projects. Presuming there are, and the proposals are good enough to support by Fedora/JBoss.org, then I am in favor of this company providing additional bounty tied to these specific projects. The student would have to invoice for work performed and deal with the local income tax requirements, which is the same case for other summer coding funding. I put up a discussion page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Summer_Coding_Sponsors Any thoughts? Objections? Support? Rotten fruit? Thanks - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41

Some coding tests added to the wiki
by Toshio Kuratomi 19 May '10

19 May '10

Greetings all, at the meeting today, we discussed having some a more formal page about coding tests. Quaid put up a page to get us started and a few of us have added tests for our specific projects. Since I've had several interested students say that they don't know python yet but think that they might be able to pick it up quickly, I wrote a pretty ismple sample test: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_pre-qualifying_ideas#Write_a_f… This test is not mandatory but if you have questions about whether you have enough python skill to work on Coprs, I strongly encourage you to do this. It will let you evaluate your ability to learn python with a simple real world problem that exposes you to some of the technologies you'll use in Copr. -Toshio

task run up
by Karsten Wade 12 May '10

12 May '10

The start of each meeting has been a review of the tasks from the previous meeting, and there keep not being any tasks. Today it hit me -- I've been using the wrong syntax to mark tasks in the log, so meetbot didn't pull them out and line them up for me to review the following week. So I just went through the last four weeks of meeting logs and pulled out this list of tasks. You see anything missing? == no owner == * Build a stand-alone site that is a single entrance page, more professional, at fedoraproject.org/summer-coding. * Plan another round or two of searching for generic mentors * Announce last 24 hours for ideas * Close idea wiki pages (somehow) * Alert students that we are one week away from deadline for their proposal == adimania's == * Share and hang posters. == jreznik's == * Share and hang posters. == quaid's == * Start on the static framework for a stand-alone web page. * Ask for help from websites and design teams on the stand-alone page. * Write-up status of sponsorship search for summer-coding * Fill private mentor list with currently known potential mentors so we can begin discussions * Remind everyone about how the public side of proposal discussions is going to go * Get confirmation from RHT Brno that they are going ahead with running their local internships through FSC2010 -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
